Brazil: “This is not a military camp”, the rules of conduct demanded of Vinicius and his team-mates during the Copa America are the talk of the town.

The national team of Brazil has been in camp for several days to compete in the Copa America in the United States.

Vinicius and his teammates aim to win this trophy, which marks the centenary of the competition.

To achieve this, Brazilian football authorities have established strict rules for the players during the tournament to maintain maximum focus. Some internet users have questioned whether the players are in a military camp due to these rules.

“It’s not a military camp… If the players don’t feel comfortable, they won’t be able to give you the performance you expect,” said one user expressing disagreement.
